Abstract

Background: The risk of in-hospital mortality after cytoreductive nephrectomy (CNT) is non-negligible and may vary widely according to various patient and hospital characteristics and clinical contexts. Objective: To better elucidate the mechanisms underlying variability in operative mortality after CNT. Design, setting, and patients: Using the US-based Nationwide Inpatient Sample registry, a weighted estimate of 16 285 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with CNT between 1998 and 2007 was made retrospectively. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Failure to rescue (FTR), defined as the number of deaths in patients who developed an adverse outcome during hospitalization. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used. Results: Of all 16 285 mRCC patients who underwent a CNT, 31% had an occurrence of one complication or more. The overall FTR rate was 5% and differed significantly according to age (≥75 yr vs
